The main reason I don’t blog about stuff that goes on at the office is I don’t ever want to be Dooced. I wasn’t worried much while on the road, because the cast of characters changed every week… but now I only have finite number of people to bitch and whine about.
Which leads me to the reason for this entry. I recently found the blog of a co-worker… and this co-worker rants on and on about the stupid people at the office. I actually find it quite funny and very true. This co-worker isn’t someone I’m really close to, but probably could be, based on how he thinks (and now that I know about it).
So, how do you approach that? “Dude, I found your blog… you’re funny”…. and then worry that he quickly shuts it down in fear that someone else finds it? It’d be nice to branch out my group of friends into departments other than my own and have more allies in the office. But how do you work your way into the good graces of someone who, by outward appearances, has no connection with you whatsoever?
Fuck… I hate office politics.

I don’t know why but that whole little situation made me giggle. I can’t imagine anyone I work with having a blog but since I work at a software company with 2000 people just in my office, chances are someone has one..

if i were your co-worker, i’d become paranoid. i’d probably shut down my blog. actually, that was exactly what i did when my officemates (including my boss) discovered my old blog.
now im careful not to identify myself in my blog, to avoid appearing in google searches.
